East Kent Golding
Quintessentially English, first developed in the1700s. The finest aroma hop for many situations, giving notes
of citrus sweet, lemon, floral, violets and apricot. Used in a blend
with Fuggle or as a single variety, it is in great demand for ales,
for wheat beers and late hopping of lagers.
